Zion Market

Down from unknown reason – REMOVED – Zion market, 100% multisig with no user wallets. Buyers can choose 2-of-2 (server & vendor have the keys) or 2-of-3 (buyer also has a key). 2FA, automated PGP, and Bitmessage alerts. Accept Monero (XMR) by immediately converting it and sending it to your BTC

I’m going to guess and say I think the feds have captured their server? Maybe they are reverse engineering the site code as we speak? If it comes back up we need to make sure its not a honey pot. Its a shame as it was my favorite market. Is there a way that the site devs can reach out to us and let us know whats happening?

This site is actually very good I’ve used it for a while and vendors love it. All the people saying there’s a loophole are lying saying they’ve been on here with all these rating when I haven’t seen one big vendor stop vending recently it’s all fud. The site has a good ui and the support is very active having the fastest response times I’ve ever had on a DNM I have done 30 orders on this website without a single problem. Tons of vendors stand behind it. It’s been open for a whole year already and I don’t see it going down anytime soon.

The loophole is real! I checked myself I have almost 0.5 BTC missing because Zion has not released all the funds to me from customers cancelling their orders and then re-ordering. IF YOU ARE A VENDOR STAY AWAY! Once this gets out there will be scammers galore on that market!

I am a vendor on zion but will be moving to a different market. I have over 200 sales on zion all positive. Today i found out there is a flaw in their system. If a vendor cancels a order for any reason a customer can reopen the same order with the vendor. If customer fixed whatever is wrong with order and vendor ships order. The loophole is that when the customer releases escrow they release it to themselves not to the vendor. when contacting support they reply elevating to IT department. but nothing is done!!! loophole cost me a lot of money stay away from this market

Zion Market is a solid up and coming market. Do not believe the ridiculous reviews about the market stealing BTC from a buyers wallet or escrow. They seem to be written by the same moron who most likely just cannot navigate the process. It is a little more involved than some of the other markets but for a good reason. BTC is deposited into an escrow account requiring both buyer and seller to sign and broadcast transactions. The process takes a little know how but is relatively simple if you follow directions. Your money is never in a “wallet” that the market can just run off with. The moment you send it to the escrow account, the transaction has begun and can be followed on the blockchain. An exit scam is simply not possible because the market NEVER has your money. The commission paid to the market is deducted from the BTC you send to the vendor and it’s sent to a different address….again…this can be viewed on the block chain. ZION Market is the ONLY market where you can’t get burned by the market itself. They set it up that way. I have made several purchases and never had an issue. Support responds within 24 hours every time and the number of vendors and products is growing steadily. The guy who keeps leaving the bad review just needs to follow directions.

Once you deposit your btc , they will lock your account and steal your btc
BEWARE ZION IS A BIG SCAM
support not answering , they delete forum posts , and ban your account if you complain !

I set up for vendor and paid the fee,went to log in later and said password wrong,too many attempts wait an hour,so basically locked out of account and they keeping vendors bond and coins i had deposited into wallet,ZION IS SCAMMING i just didnt read til it was already to late,warning to you if its too good to be true it is ZION SHAME ON YOU

Zion market looks pretty serious at first. They did a pretty good job on the design and it looks pretty organized. There’s just one problem: the vendor bond is really cheap and is given back to the vendor as sales commission money for the initial sales, meaning that as soon as the money is on their account, they don’t really lose money on the initial sales because the money is slowly deducted from that initial amount. What’s more, that money is so low that any scammer with about 60 bucks can open up an account and start scamming people.

On the face of it, such a lower starting point might not seem like a big deal. After all, it’s nice for vendors and business, right? Well, no, not exactly. The problem with giving vendors such great incentives is that for every vendor, you have all the more buyers. And for every number of buyers, you have money. Money that goes into the wallets. Money that goes into purchases and escrow. And, money that therefore goes into the site’s hands.

The cheaper the vendor bond, and in this case it’s really, really cheap, the more vendors you have. The more vendors you have, the more buyers you have. The more buyers you have, the more money you have. The more money you have, the more incentive to close up shop and walk away. And that is exactly the new market buyers have to deal with today.

So, here is how you judge the value of a market today. Check out the bond fee. Open up an account, and look at how much the bond is to become a vendor. If it’s high, as in 300 bucks, then most trailer trash can’t afford to risk that much money. If it’s even higher than that, say 600 bucks or something, then that is a sign that the site is in it for the long run. Why? Because the site knows that not every Dick in the woods can come on down and open up shop. To be on that market means that you are there to make your money back. So if you’re selling credit cards at 15 bucks a pop, or little packets of candy for 50 bucks, it’s going to take you a long time to start making money and not just a long time, but a lot of valid sales. That will only very slowly accumulate social value for the market, since its reputation will increase.

So in short, look for the site where the vendor has a reason not to fuck you. Their own investment.

Another way to determine if the escrow in the site is worth a damn is by simply looking in the forum and seeing what people say. By and large, when you read an amazon criticism or comment, it’s from an actual experience. If a lot of people are all claiming the same thing about some phone that you wan to try out, or some new mattress, then chances are, those random people are telling the truth. Just read what they are saying and pay attention. If the people are all saying “it’s the best ever” but not giving a real evaluation of the product, then you know the evaluations can’t be trusted. Keep reading and chances are you’ll see some sucker saying how shitty it really is and how the evaluations are bs. Same principle on markets. Read for lost btc or escrow deals gone wrong. The reason that matters is not just that you’ll get an idea of how safe your money is should you decide to do a deal (since with no escrow at all, nearly no deal can be made), it will also be a good indication of how trustworthy the site is since they could also have their own vendor accounts that they scam you from by making you think you are buying a legit product and then once you send the money, it’s simply lost in the escrow or you’re scammed but ignored.

One very important principle of darknet sites right now is this:

Darkenet sites have a much harder time than buyers are probably willing to realize. If you don’t realize this, you and the entire market are going to suffer until the entire market realizes it. This isn’t a joke.

So what is there to realize? What you have to realize is that markets face two very distinct threats. 1. The police. Not just one police force, but severeal, all working together to take them down. To find them and put them away, in some cases for life. These darknet markets and sites are run and coordinated by professionals trained in computing, and they usually have pretty good lives compared to your average street thug. Some of them have very good lives, actually. Families, jobs, etc. So that threat is huge. Imagine if suddenly you’re all over the news for running a huge, huge drug trafficking and million dollar money-laundering site…
People with established lives would often just kill themselves rather than go through with any legal battle where they’re just going to lose everything, no matter what.

The other threat is 2. Hackers. Tons of hackers are now able to steal or dox or blackmail them into forking over all their btc. So not only have they orgnized and worked hard and taken the huge-ass risk of making all that money, but they have another, really serious enemy on their hands, which are people just as educated as them who are trying to stab them in the back. After all, why go to all that trouble (setting up a site, running it, taking all the risk, etc) if you can just hack the site yourself and steal all their money? And so that is what happens.

So again, what is there to realize that’s so revolutionary? It’s that sites know about these two problems and so they have a huge, huge incentive to set up shop for a few months, make as much as they can and then “get scammed” out of all their money so most of the site just accepts getting hammered in the ass. Because if it’s not that first five months or so where the site walks away with its life still intact, maybe in one year the police will find them or in one year hackers really will take all their money. So know that about markets now. It’s no longer the Alphabay days. That’s gone.

The new darknet is going to be run in the same way that torrenting sites are run. The way they will be run is in small private sites that everyone has to be INVITED to in order to get in. You might think initially that such is stupid, but it’s actually not. That will keep sites very specific (certain kinds of drugs only, certain kinds of crime only), very small (no more than like 5k users, most of the time), and it will also keep scams down and most hackers and police forces away, since hackers will have less of an incentive to “hack” everything, since there won’t be that much to steal. And the police will have much less of an incentive to take down anyone site, because there will be more sites (way more) and they will all be relatively small. And, all the sites will pretty much all ban what the police have no choice but to go after, things like terrorism and child sex slaves, etc.

That is what’s going to happen because there is no decentralized model that can work for the moment.

To get invites, people will probably sell them, and the admin will probably have to keep an eye on that somehow, but that’s the model that will work. And that is exactly why all the huge torrenting sites that used to allow anybody to come and download as much as they want… have all been taken down. They all get too big and the police eventually see that they are too big to ignore and so they have to be taken down. Same principle on the darknet. If the site is making millions and millions of dollars every month… the reality is that such is simply too big for the world’s police force to ignore. So it loses. Stay small, specific, private…

From my personal experience this is a great upcoming marking growing day by day. I have used the site without any issues and staff help center are quick to reply to any questions and do their utmost best to help.

The choice of Bitcoin or Monero payments works for the best of both worlds depending on your preference.

Zion is a solid and easy to navigate marketplace and will be sticking around as it grows organically. They have been around a while now and I have seen nothing but improvements.

Could not recommend more 10/10 so far.

Following the collapse of AB -> TR -> Aero, I decided to make an order off of zion and see how it goes.

Brief Summary of my experience:

The site is slow and laggy, not exactly the most well designed and it’s somewhat broken. ie on some pages my balance reads $9 where on others it may say $4. With my remaining balance of “$9” I try to make an order only to find out I can’t pay with my balance because I need a mininum of 0.001btc to pay for orders using my balance. WTF Zion no other market that I can recall does this. This forces users to more money in their wallets.

Zion may had implemented this because it may had been designed from the ground up to exit scam. That’s just pure speculation, but I don’t particularly find myself desiring to use zion again. maybe if every other market worst I’ll add money to my wallet, till then I’m gonna explore my other options.

I dont know whats going on here it zion market is up but when i click on the link i just get an empty page i tried it now over 50 ties sometimes i can do the captcha but nothing more it never loads the site :(

Great site vendor and user ui is great and tons of features. Recommend using this better than any other market including Dream Market. This market accepts Monero, multisig, clean ui, great support, and has been here for over a year.

Zion isn’t scamming people whoever’s saying that’s are just dumb people who don’t know that bitcoin confirmations are slower due to the small amount of miners and high price hopefully bitmain can fix that soon.

Hey I used the URL from deepdotweb.com and then tried to make a withdrawal after a vendor canceled my order. I then got in touch with him on WickR and I was going to send the funds to him from my Zion account. I waited two and a half hours during pending withdrawals and then finally canceled assuming my funds would be back in my account. I canceled the pending withdrawal and it took all my BTC. I contacted admins 2 times and they have not replied can you please help me out. Please share opinions and let me know if anything similar is happening to anyone else.

I think I just got totally scammed… I was buying from a vendor who didn’t trust the marketplace so he told me to send it to his personal wallet. After waiting two hours with it still pending in withdrawal, I pressed cancel. Then I refreshed the page expecting to have my BTC back and my wallet was empty. I consulted help three times and still no response. Tell me what you think but fuck you Zion. You just literally ruined everything I had going. FUCK YOU ZION.

I like how this site runs it has everything it should including 100% multisig meaning they can’t exit scam. They never exit scammed like I said they can’t they got ddoss heavily but now they’re back and better then ever. This site has every feature a dnm should have but no other ones do, it’s the future of dark net markets.

why people gotta hate. It was total BS that there even was a scam, they just went down for a couple of weeks but they are running strong! Just use your head select your vendor wisely, and treat it like any other market. I have had many successfull transactions and never run into a problem, and the best part is there is no wallet, you just pay at then end. To wrap that up they cant exit scam… transactions are set to auto release to vendors even if the market crashes. These guys are pros and they know what they are doing. apparantly more than ddw.c, I always knew that this site would be forced to list them as a legit market. Use common since and you will be fine!!

Huh why does it say SCAM all of a sudden beside the market explanation?

They are offline right now, but I got on yesterday for a short period of time and everything seemed just fine.
Only thing that is really missing is extra links to counter the DDOS attacks like is happening right now.

Maybe also a more accurate explanation WHY you think it is a scam all of a sudden DDW?

Ok so Zion was online for just enough time for me to withdraw my coins however i am not seeing them in my wallet in Electrum….it might take some time i understand that but now the market is down again…UGHHHHHH

The market should come back up and you can get your coin out, just fyi its never a good idea to leave large balances in markets….they do chrash. Just have a Little faith zion came partially back online yesterday. I am sure they are working hard to accomidate the mass of traffic I am sure they are getting. Give their IT some time and it should come back up soon

For the Comment Below: I did not know that. Or at least i wasnt aware at the time you could do that….now i have bitcoins in my wallet in that market and no way to get to them because they are down…yes i hope they will get back up….i had quite a few bitcoins actually…and i can see them in my blockcypher.info and ive been reading online ways to get them back but i am new to this and i cant figure it out…ugh

Great market, hope they can get it back on line soon. Zion has a great oppertunity here to get all the trafic from other martkets being down. Im sure they are a little overwhelmed at this point, started acting up when trade went down… then wen off line, wish they had some mirrors xD I think Zion will get it together by monday, just a guess : )

COMMENT BELOW…one of the cool things about zion is you dont HAVE to fund your wallet and make purchases, you can use their multisig and pay for just your product/service (saves upi a transaction fee)and never have to fund your account

****So since the Zion market is down how would i be able to get my bitcoins back from my accounts wallet into my external wallet in Electrum.
Also i am curious as to why all the markets went down…..does anybody know whats going on..
But most of all i do not want to lose that money in my account on Zion market so if anyone knows what i can do that would be greatly appreciated!! PLEASE.
God bless and thank you!!****

Hopefully turns into #1 market, looks like they are having some tech issues (im sure due to the flood of people from other markets that are down “EH-Hem” ) i get into dream just fine idk what everyone is all worked up about. Thats what they make mirrors for use em and dream works ZION is the future I believe. Not to say they wont be replaced at some point but they are looking like the next big thing to me <<3

Hi. I wanted to follow up on my previous review (the one by johnkasich) from a day ago. After having my first review published on deepdotweb.com I wrote a message to Zion customer support indicating that my dissatisfaction with their service led me to write that review and unless they reach back to me with some answers and/or solutions, I will continue to write simillar reviews in here and other places. About 12 hours later I got a message from them informing me that they reviewd my claim and accepted my request for a refund since the vendor involved still has not replied or even read the latest messages for almost one week now. I accepted and one hour later I had my coins back safely into my wallet. So, after all it looks like it’s not quite a ghost town and that the admins/moderators do show up after all, but to be honest I’m not sure they would have done that if I had not written my first review. Anyway, regardless of the timings, I do have to give them kudos for finally doing the right thing and refunding me. I think it would be much better for them if they would be more involved and responsive but at least in this case they did not scam me or allowed the vendor to scam me… Hopefully they’ll take this experience as a learning moment about proper customer service, improve their system and grow their market.

This market is like a ghost town. There are just a few vendors around and those who are there are not very active or are just charging more for the same product/service they offer on other markets under the same username. More than a weeek ago I placed an order with a vendor who accepted it and then went silent. Few days later I started a dispute and never heard back from any admin or moderator. No updates or notices about the status of the dispute. No request for more info or offers for resolving it. It’s just total silence as the days go by and the escrow will probably be released to the vendor due to autofinalize. So, if the admins/moderators are not around to do their job then obviously some of the vendors will take advantage of that and steal your coins. For this reasons I advize you to just stay away from this market.

Zion is a very cool, user friendly Dark Net Market utilizing features designed to enhance security, anonymity and fraud/scam protection. For example, BTC is not held in a wallet..the market uses 2/2 2/3 multi sig protocols so as a vendor you cannot be scammed..at least not under current circumstances and as a buyer, you are still offered full escrow. I have found support to be very timely in responding to issues while exhibiting an enormous amount of patience with newbies. The product listing is growing and they are willing to float the vendor bond until you complete some sales…just ask. I’m rather excited about this market and expect good things from it in the future.
